Answer to Question 1

C
The child should be reminded of all the big things she is able to do that the baby cannot do. The child should be allowed to help the mother care for the infant. The child feels that the baby will come first and needs to understand that she is still important. The child may display regressive behavior to cope. This should not be punished.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D
The ANA does not make recommendations about immunizations.
